My first year of planting verbena bonariensis and I am truly in love with the plant. I bought as plug plants. Was sat outside admiring them during a hot day when I saw what, to me, looked like a baby humming bird . It was flitting about like a humming bird and feeding on the nectar but not landing, flapping it's wings so fast I could hear them. Looked on Google and found out it was a humming bird moth. Never seen one before in all my 76 years. Felt so privileged.

I would love to separate these babies from the mother to keep the special ones going. I don't believe they are seedlings, but it looks like offsets. They are a good size. So far they have died when I tried to separate and put them in their pot or cell.

Hi Dee. I collected the seeds at the end of summer and put them in the refridgerator at the start of spring. Germinate the seeds indoors and then plant out in mid spring (April here in the UK).

Great informative video. Thank you for posting. I bought seeds and the instructions didn't mention putting in the fridge but instead for germination, to put plant them up on and put on heat mat at 30 deg celsius during the day and 16 degrees at night. So I've been trying to follow the instructions as closely as possible. Your method seems much easier so I'm going to try out your method next year. When you pull your seeds out of the refrigerator, are you growing them at 30 degrees celsius until they germinate? Are you fluctuating the night temperatures similar to the instructions I have?
@LearnHow23 жыл бұрын
Shop bought seeds should have already gone through the refrigeration process so wont need to be repeated. But seeds collected from plants need to be fooled into experiencing a cold 'winter' period before they will germinate.
